• Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a chunky sauce, about 10 minutes.

CHUNKY APPLESAUCE

APPLE-PEAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Toss together the apples, pears, 1/4 cup water, maple syrup and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a large pot with a heavy bottom (a Dutch oven works great for this). Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, over low heat, until the fruit are very tender, about 45 minutes or up to 1 hour. Stir in the lemon juice and use a potato masher to smash to your desired consistency. If you like a completely smooth, pureed sauce, use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Taste and add additional cinnamon to your liking.
• Serve warm, or cool completely and store in sterile jars with tight-fitting lids up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

CHUNKY APPLE/PEAR SAUCE (SUGAR FREE)

Steps:

• Peel and core all the fruit. Cut in large cubes.
• Place the fruit in a large saucepan.
• Mix the stevia and sea salt with the water and add to the pot of fruit.
• Add the cinnamon and nutmeg to the fruit in the pot. Stir the spices into the fruit so they are coated.
• Bring to a boil, then turn down and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove the lid and let it simmer for 5 more minutes. Give it another good stir.
• Let cool a little, then using a potato masher, mash the fruit, but leave chunks, it's really tasty with pieces of fruit still big enough to chew.
• Store in a mason jar in the fridge. It keeps for about a week, but it may not last that long :)
• Enjoy!

SPICED APPLE-PEAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the apples, pears, lemon juice, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the apples and pears are very soft but still a bit chunky, 15 to 20 minutes. Taste the mixture and add the remaining tablespoon of sugar if desired.
• Remove the sauce from the heat and stir a few times until the sauce is well combined with small chunks. Cool to room temperature. Remove the cinnamon sticks and serve. (For a smoother sauce, remove from heat, remove the cinnamon sticks and then whisk the mixture until smooth before cooling.)
